About our Red Sangria with Ginger and Raspberry Syrups
Already in Roman times, fruits and spices were macerated in wine. Sangria (from sangre, “blood”, after its color) is the heir to this long tradition of mixology. It is found in Spain and Portugal, where each family has its own recipe (and always the best!). In the Iberian Peninsula, sangria is serious business: the European Union has ruled that only sangrias produced in Spain and Portugal can bear the name. But no one will quibble with you if you serve it on your patio… Yield: 8 servings
